Default Who has 355 rear tires on their Vette

Looking for info on this. I have a set of L5 rear flares and am buying wheels and tires here soon.

Looking for what has worked for others.

Of course pics would be great

I have Pirelli 375. The Pirelli 375 runs narrow and is about a 355 size not a real 375. My car is not only flared but was tubbed long beforehand. I wanted the widest tire possible that will fit and at the time the 375 was the widest.

WOW!!!! Awesome!!! Maybe I'm too old, but nothing validates a hot rod like massively wide rear tires!!!!!! I love it!!!!!! (Hint, narrowed rear ends with massively wide rear tires!!!) Maybe add some wheelie bars for effect!!!

Don't care for the "stretched" tire look. I think it would look much better on a 12.5 or 13" wide wheel (whichever is the right width), but I sure would love to see a set of those under the back end of my 'Vette (with the horse power to use them)!!
